Rump True Story of Rumpelstiltskin

Rump was born with only half of his name. Where he lives, half a name makes you half the person. With only Gran and a couple of barn animals on their farm, he’s the farm boy who wishes to find his full name and maybe an adventure. His grandmother starves, soon leaving him alone and wondering why. One night, Rump is drawn to his mother’s old

spinning wheel. What comes from the wheel is flawless gold. At first he is delighted, but as the weeks wear on, he discovers that his “talent” may be more of a curse. To become free, Rump will have to battle greedy peasants, trolls, a curse, and maybe then he will find his true name…

This was an awesome book! I enjoyed it a lot and would like to see more fairytales like this from the author. Until next time…
